Angel Baby - Rosie and the Originals

Here’s some trivia about the song:

It was written by Rosie Hamlin when she was only 14 years old, and she recorded it when she was only 15 years old.

It was recorded in an old airplane hanger located in San Marcos, CA.

The equipment was an old two track machine.

They had to quickly teach there bass player to play the sax, because there sax player had to mow the yard for his mother, and his strict mother wouldn’t let him go.

It had to be recorded a little over 30 times, because when someone would make a mistake, they would have to start all over again.

It had a very simple but great sound because of how it was recorded.

They had trouble getting a record deal, and couldn’t even get an appointment with any of the labels.

The group convinced a San Diego department store to pipe their master through the listening booths in the record department. The response from listeners prompted Highland Records to sign the band and promote the single.


It became a hit, and the rest is history...


Here’s the great classic, Angel Baby:
